A few weeks ago, it was announced that The Boys universe will be greatly expanded in the following years. Fans may look forward to The Boys Season 5 (the series’ last season), Gen V Season 2, The Boys: Mexico, and the highly anticipated 1950s prequel spinoff, Vought Rising.

Only two cast members have been revealed for Vought Rising: Jensen Ackles, who will reprise his role as Soldier Boy, and Aya Cash, who will play Stormfront.

Paul Grellong, executive producer of The Boys, will take on the role of showrunner, with Eric Kripke and the core creative team from The Boys franchise also contributing. The list of executive producers includes Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and several others.

While details about the upcoming prequels are limited, new casting information from Nexus Point News suggests a significant new superhero is set to appear in both Vought Rising and The Boys Season 5.

Flyboy, a white male in his 20s to 30s, is described as a former charismatic combat pilot turned junkie with a dark past. Despite his traumatic experiences, he remains confident and captivating in front of cameras, drawing admiration from the public, especially women.

Currently, Flyboy appears to be an original character created for the TV series, much like Firecracker and Sister Sage were for Season 4 of The Boys.

The 70-year gap between The Boys and its precursor Vought Rising, set in the 1950s, may have halted Flyboy’s aging process, similar to Soldier Boy and Stormfront, who are likely to headline the new series. Flyboy and Soldier Boy share a military past, which might be addressed in Vought Rising.

Soldier Boy and Flyboy’s connection may be hinted to in the last season of The Boys, and their backstory is further established in the prequel.

The release date for Vought Rising has yet to be confirmed.
